New Delhi, Oct 10 (IBNS) Social networking giant Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Friday.

"CEO of @facebook, Mr. Mark Zuckerberg calls on PM @narendramodi," the PMO India tweeted.

Zuckerberg came to Delhi on Thursday to attend the two-day Internet.org Summit, on Oct 9-10. The conference is aimed at making internet access affordable for people those who do not have it globally.
